Blob to word document to execute

Hi,

I have successfully stored an image as a BLOB in a db, and pulled it, made it into an image again, and put it in a JPanel...However, now I need to pull a BLOB from a db that was previously a ms word doc and turn it back into one, save it and open it...How do I do that in java, I think I need to use the Runtime class but I'm not sure exactly how...any advice?

If you need to know more to help, just let me know.

Thanks in advance,
Michael

I solved the problem...I kind of did it the way I didn't want to though. I got the blob turned it back into a doc, stored it in a temp file on the users computer, and used Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(System call goes here) to run the file that was temporarily in that temp file.
